Description

During this full day trip, you will get to explore the beautiful Garliste Gorges.

Located near Timisoara (Banat), in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania, the Garliste Gorges, near the village bearing the same name, are absolutely stunning. Over the course of the trip, you will see the ruins of 14 water mills. You will also get to see a number of wondrous caves as well. The beginning section of the path we will be taking will follow a carriage road until narrowing. Afterwards, we will reach the Gherii cliff and Moghila cliff.

Great opportunity to hike around the beautiful Retezat mountain with a great guide, Florin! Awesome and very knowledgeable, made the day super enjoyable - planned the perfect route based on weather conditions. Florin was very easy to communicate with ahead of time and coordinate for the journey, also gave a lot of interesting facts on the history of the mountain and local flora and fauna :)
